TN: 1920 Barbeito Madeira Boal Favilla Vieira

[Stewart T.]

• 1920 Barbeito Madeira Boal Favilla Vieira - Portugal, Madeira (1/25/2024)
  Dark amber-brown with orange edges. The nose opens with bottle stink, featuring aromas of rubber tire, VA, burnt chocolate, and dried nuts. The palate showcases saline notes, dried fruits, and very bright acidity, with less sweetness than typical for a Malvasia. The long finish highlights salted caramel and lively acidity. Despite the initial nose, the wine held up remarkably well. (93 pts.)
